MACO Purpose

The Office of Multicultural Affairs & Community Outreach (MACO) provides services and assistance to Asian American, African American, Hispanic/Latino American, and Native American Students.  We provide academic, financial, personal, career, social counseling and support as needed.   We seek to promote the intellectual, social and moral development of all students on campus through the advancement and understanding of culture and heritage. 

Our intent is to raise the cultural awareness of and appreciation for ethnic differences in the St. Olaf campus community by coordinating and planning cultural and educational programming.  Our office advises student organizations and individuals who have interests in multicultural services and programming. 

Expressions

The Multicultural Affairs newsletter, Expressions, will be published three times during the 2011-2012 academic year. We strive to highlight some of the activities, celebrations, and events happening in MACO as well as highlight current students and an alum each month.
